"Oh!", you say. "Laura has done another Christmas Tree Ball"

NOPE! Guess again! What Do You
Think Is In My Hand?

(And no wise cracks about -ME- being into Orbit!)

* * * Stay connected to this thread and I will tell you what this is on Christmas! * * *

TV 1/8, AV 2.8

  My gosh Laura, I have not gotten through with my first cup of coffee. Your imagination is beyond my grasp. Not a clue what it is, however, it is a beauty. Outstanding DD work.

  I'm really enjoying all of your guesses!

Keep them coming. :)

I wish we could see the spirit of Christmas. Maybe it really WOULD look like this?

I love that!

By the way no one has guessed how I really did this yet or what it is.

Thanks everybody!

!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE !!!

  Good guesses. But nope! I have glass blown "friendship balls", too, and it's not them either!

No glass blown balls involved. Not Christmas Bulbs either.

  Hello again!

No one is close so far.

Two "off thread" guesses were made.

No. Not a pomegranate chopped in half or fruit of any kind.

* * *

I smudged out the BG in PSE7. That is todays hint. :D

(Now where is that coffee of mine?)

  OM GOSH! You guys are a hoot and your guesses are REALLY incrediable!

Pocket watches and snow balls and clocks and all sorts of cool ideas...

But No. No one is right yet.

There was a bit of Christmas magic involved but only the kind that PSE7 could do!

You guys have really fun imaginations...and if you didn't guess yet there is still time if something hits you!

Thanks for the fun and comments!

These next few days will be very busy folks. I will check in on you when I can but I wont be posting new images I dont think. I just don't have the time right now.

Besides I want to visit your galleries so I dont dare post a new one until I have!

-20c here tonight! Burrrrrrrrrr!

not poetic enough!

okay- you blurred your "back" so this must
be another self-portrait of some

the brilliant kaleidoscope that is
the forefront of your

mind.
